Addressing #3: Archie has only been gone for 22 months.

Exactly. They had everything to play for tonight and executed. GGs and move on to the next..

Just enjoy this year fellas. Transfer portal will help us we have bukoo minutes and $ available next year. Woodson said “get old and stay old” - 2 tourney appearances in 2 years

Where was he before? I didn’t know he was a transfer, without him they’d be chopped liver

Michigan State is playing great and stopping/matching our runs. Win or lose, this is the best I’ve felt about IU going into March. Get these boys (TJD) some rest. Go Hoosiers!!

Happy the officials didn’t take over the game that half. Missed a few calls but nothing completely egregious imo

He’s played 20 minutes this half. Trend analysis says you’re the biggest hater on the entire board

8 minutes in he's now making excuses for "dehydrated" players. This guy needs to read Jocko Willink's books

Listening to Underwood's post game presser. My gosh this guy threw every excuse he could possibly think of out in the first 5 minutes but then as typical coach speak "that's no excuse". Cannot stand the lack of true accountability He's an absolute clown and I am glad he coaches for Illinois, the same as Juwan for the lil wolverines

The toxicity has been high here today

A lot of turmoil surrounding the Illinois program this year. Not a great resume, but certainly not the worst. Illinois will come out fighting, though I feel from watching them they're just waiting for a team to hammer in the final nail of the coffin. If you think IU looks careless periodically, tune into an Illini game. Those boys have a lot of quit in them. A good 1H start by the Hoosiers will bury them imo We do have the coaching edge. Underwood is as good for IU as Juwan Howard - hope they resign him

TJD got speared in the back in that last segment. High key pass to him coming downhill, backside defender shoulder to his back. He falls down. No call It’s wild

I’ll eat crow Race my bad

That boy was nervous haha

As I said last game - would be a great time for the annual 5 minute IU defensive scoring drought they impose on others

True. Race’s loss of mobility/verticality kills IU. edit: to no fault of his own - pre-injury he was just different. No Ill toward Race

If Banks is so bad that he can’t get some PT in a game like this…. He’s a freshman, ok.. I’ve seen many freshman tear IU up in the last 10 years in AH.

On pace for a lot of TOs

We have 3 really good assistant coaches. Hope you're right...

I thought with the departure of Nance Northwestern would really struggle this year. They're a true anomaly with their road record. Hope they beat Purdue and use up all their makes for the week ;)

I get pondering substitutions but Coach gets paid to put the best product he can on the floor to win a game. Tonight this is what coach thought it took from his team to win and judging the score he was correct

I could be wrong but I believe Howard only had 3pts in 2H

I agree his effort was great. IU is beat up - thank God JHS can take a hit

Geronimo is playing on one leg

Would love to see one of those 5 min scoring droughts IU been doing to B1G teams
